A floating boardwalk carries you through mangrove, sawgrass and cedar woods without getting wet. It is the only fully wheelchair-friendly nature reserve in Bermuda.

Visiting

The boardwalk passes a pond first, one of the few inland freshwater ponds left on the island, with toads, killifish and waterfowl. Then it crosses red mangrove and sawgrass into about 6 hectares of cedar and palmetto woodland.

Look for White-eyed Vireos, Gray Catbirds and Northern Cardinals in the canopy, and for migrants such as the American bittern in the reeds. Bring binoculars.

Know before you goThe boardwalk reopened in February 2024 after four years of repairs. Ignore any older notice that says it is closed.
